What started off as a few literal side-of-the-road fruit stands spread all over Vicksburg, The Tomato Place morphed into one business in 2001 located on 61 south. Throughout the years, we have maintained a “southern grandma’s back porch” atmosphere. From only selling just fresh vegetables and fruits, to introducing a small café, we have truly grown over time thanks to our customers. With that being said, we have become a major pit stop/attraction to all types of locals, tourists, and foreigners.

Are they greasy?  Yes, they are -- and that's what makes 'em so good!  Their fries and onion rings are top notch as well.  Pair them with an old fashioned glass bottle of Coke  

The outside is clean, the cuisine is American best hamburgers in this small town.

In Columbia, Mississippi is the Southern Fried Rabbit. This was once an Ice Cream shop that has been converted to a walk-up diner. The fried rabbit is a must. The rabbit sauce is delicious (like Canes sauce but better!) and great burgers 

 They do one thing and one thing only - great steaks!  If you want shrimp or some kinda crawfish or cream sauce added to your steak, you’d better go somewhere else 😆 Your side options are baked potato and salad. No dessert offered but you’re not gonna want a dessert anyway.  Hit up the Crispy Crème down the street if you do . Hours are 11-10 Tuesday - Saturday.

. All the burgers are named after football players. I got the Jerry Rice triple. Mother of God it was good.

Don't be fooled by this little shack on the side of the highway. Incredibly friendly owner and likely one of (if not THE) best burger in the greater Jackson area. Orders must be phoned in ….online menu available  hours are 10:30-7

Monday- Saturday

This is your typical small town, off the side of the highway, greasy spoon Café. It's not perfect, but it hits the spot. Famous for their ZIP burger and their Zip sauce. This is a great little dinner nestled along a busy corridor down south. A complete locals café that also happens to welcome strangers just traveling through.

Step back in time to for one of the coolest venues and best food in Mississippi. After all, what’d ya expect from an old broke down store?  Hours are Thur 5- 8:30  Fri 5-9   and Sat 4:30- 9        and it's cash & checks only

History
Established in 1889.

This “ole store” opened in 1889 and has never left the Gibbes Family. Opened as a restaurant in 2009, it now serves on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays some of the best food you’ll ever put in your mouth.

Great spot for lunch or dinner. Patty melt is a definite go to. BBQ sandwich is delicious. Ice cream also! Best BLTs, Ribeye sandwiches, and dough burgers!

Hours are 11-7  M-F

Looked like a little hole in the wall and indeed is a hidden gem! Right off the freeway and amazing food/service! Great price and fairly quick for a group of 7 people!

No inside dining and it's cash only so, plan ahead

hours are 10:30-4 M-F

and 10:30-2 Sat

Old fashioned southern cuisine (soul food) and BBQ. 
When I arrived last Wednesday at 11:09 am they were already slammed. The parking lot looked like a football game was being played with the number of cars there. Inside, my wait in line to pay was only about 6-7 minutes so that made me happy. The line moves fairly quickly.
